Electromagnetically induced transparency line shapes for large probe fields and optically thick media
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the line shape and linewidths for electromagnetically induced transparency EIT in optically thick, Doppler broadened media buffer gasses are also considered . In generalizing the definition of the EIT linewidth to optically thick media, we find two different linewidth definitions apply depending on whether the experiment is pulsed or continuous wave cw . Using the cw definition for the EIT line shape we derive analytic expressions describing the linewidth as a function of optical depth. We also review the EIT line shapes in optically thin media and provide physical arguments for how the line shapes change as a function of various parameters.

Transients of the electromagnetically-induced-transparency-enhanced refractive Kerr nonlinearity: Theory
We present a theory describing the transients and rise times of the refractive Kerr nonlinearity which is enhanced using electromagnetically induced transparency EIT . We restrict our analysis to the case of a pulsed signal field with continuous-wave EIT fields, and all fields are well below saturation. These restrictions enable the reduction of an EIT Kerr, four-level, density-matrix equation ...
متن کاملControlling of Absorption and Dispersion Spectrum via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency
In this paper we examine the absorption and dispersion properties of a weak probe field via Electromagnetically Induced Transparency (EIT) in a four-level system. It is shown that under certain condition, using this model, the absorption cancellation is appeared and the medium becomes transparent to the weak probe field. It will be shown that the controlling of absorption and dispersion spectru...

We show that the effective decay rate of Zeeman coherence, generated in a 87 Rb vapor by linearly polarized laser light, increases significantly with the atomic density. We explain this phenomenon as the result of radiation trapping. Our study shows that radiation trapping must be taken into account to fully understand many electromagnetically induced transparency experiments with optically thi...
متن کاملNonlinear magneto-optical rotation in optically thick media
Resonant nonlinear magneto-optical rotation (NMOR) [1, 2] has been the subject of extensive theoretical and experimental studies because it provides a very sensitive way to measure magnetic fields (see, e.g., Ref. [3]). While NMOR experiments are usually carried out with vapor samples of moderate optical thickness (no more than ∼ 2 absorption lengths), the intense research of recent years on el...
متن کاملEfficient electromagnetically induced transparency in a rare-earth doped crystal
We have observed up to 100% transmission of a probe field at line center due to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in an optically dense rare-earth crystal of Pr 3+ doped YzSiOs at 5.5 K. We also have examined both laser field intensity and temperature dependence of the EIT. Efficient EIT in this crystal opens potential applications such as efficient high-resolution image processing...
